Nest Camera
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to set up and has very good viewing range
I would recommend this to a friendVery solid outdoor webcam without subscription
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a ring and after a year I did t want to pay the subscription fees every year. After some research I found this one and I actually liked it. Here are the reasons 1. You don't want to pay the subscription and you don't need to check/tore video way back in the timeline 2. Solid build (in fact heavier than others) and the battery runs 6 weeks (within 25-50F ranges) 3. The video quality is good and I really like face recognition feature 4. I like the integration with nest hub display where I can watch the live feed with voice command On the flip side, it might look expensive to begin with but the subscription cost from other devices will help you to decide. The setup with the nest app can be tricky so follow the steps carefully and contact support online if you get any problem but don't skip any steps.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat but....
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera works well, has a stong enough battery, and a fairly strong magnet so it can be placed just about anywhere. The only problem i see is that it needs a subscription to get the best use out of it.

Not for me.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are nice cameras, but, I had issues with the Google app and my iPhone. The Google app and iPhone don’t seem to be compatible. I returned the cameras for a different brand. If you own an android these cameras might work well. Overall the cameras are nice.

Easy to Install, Drains Battery Quickly
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 3 of these cameras to use outside my house. Overall the quality of the video is great, but the Google Home app takes too long to load and view. Also the camera on my front door drains rapidly so I will have to hardwire the camera.

Posted .Hi Rich, thanks for choosing our Google Nest products, and we're glad to hear that you found Nest Cam (Battery) great. We do apologize for the long loading time of the Google Home app, and for the battery drain issues you are experiencing.
The long loading time using the Google Home app for your Nest Cam (Battery) may be caused by a possible congestion of your network. We recommend removing some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space, and checking to see if you will still experience the same long loading times when streaming the video feed from your Nest camera. Once you verify congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade your bandwidth if needed.
Hardwiring your Nest Cam (Battery) is a great idea to avoid battery drain issues. However, it's important to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery):
Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and examine what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Very good video camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already have a Nest IQ Outdoor camera which uses the Nest app. This camera requires the Google Home app. I know people are not happy with the Google Home app, but I will say everything is there that you get with the Nest app, it's just laid out differently. The new camera actually notifies us faster than the IQ Outdoor camera. Its so fast that if you click on the notification right when you get it the event video hasn't finished processing yet. I have my camera on a power source because I want the 24/7 video storage along with the events. Google offers the best price point for this feature at $12 per month for unlimited devices. All other solutions I looked at cost you $20 or more per month. Video quality between both of my camera's are the same which is very good day and night. I'm very happy with my purchase.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my third camera and I love it! Pictures are clear, easy to install and easy to save the video. Perfect addition to my house.
I would recommend this to a friendClear and crisp!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and integrate into entire system, crystal clear images, audio is crisp. Amazing how clearly you can hear the neighbors talking crap about something from across the street.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Camera Option!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras are great especially if you have already bought into the google ecosystem. They are pretty expensive but were very simple to setup. There are only two big issues. You have to pay for 24/7 recording and the battery life is no where close to advertised. Im sure you could get close if you restricted video recording a lot, but defeats the point of the camera. So a power cable is a extra must buy. And as others have mentioned this three pack only comes with one short charger cable, not 3.

Posted .Hey there, Jacob. We’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (battery) and how it integrates with the Google ecosystem. We hear your concerns about the battery life and recording feature along with having one charging cable for the multi-pack cameras.
A single cable is included because cameras typically require charging at different times. This is due to factors like how often events occur, what the camera sees, and your chosen sensitivity and recording duration settings.
Meanwhile, you can connect your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power so you can avoid charging the camera more often than you should, which is also required to get 24/7 recording. And as we're always evaluating and refining our products based on customer’s feedback and industry trends, we’ve included three hours of event history right out of the box for the first time ever. Additionally, the Nest Aware (2nd gen) covers all cameras and doorbells added on the same home structure. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and we suggest using a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).

I would recommend this to a friendBest security cam
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't sure how these would work without a light source, but the night vision is really good. You can even see faces. We compared security cams and this one looked like the best. We're glad we chose this one. App is user friendly, too.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is pretty good. It has quality video and audio. Battery life is ok. Definitely invest in the powercord so you don't have worry about charging the camera. I wish it had continuous recording. It doesn't record when I am viewing live video. Hopefully google updates this soon.
